Writing With Students

One of the central components of a successful classroom is a teacher who purposefully engages the work assigned to students, actively writing alongside student and teacher writers.

The PowerPoint below, first shared at the 2011 Allerton Articulation Conference, chronicles both my findings, and the findings of my colleagues, N.Kooistra and J.Gard, in the connection between teacher writing and student success.

The handout summarizes professional findings on this topic, and presents nine suggestions, based on our research, for successful application of co-classroom-writing.
